A soldier returning home from deployment overseas decided to give his son a big surprise in the most heart warming way.

Corporal James Bass had been stationed for a year in Kuwait, according to ABC 11. On Friday, he decided to show up for picture day at his 8-year-old son Joshua's school. The third grader at Pearsontown Magnet Elementary was getting his picture taken when his dad snuck up behind him, completely unaware, and photobombed his picture.
